Open-source panorama photo stitcher with manual control-point alignment — useful for reconstructing wider scenes from constrained reference photos.

Photographer's planning app providing precise sun, moon and Milky Way positions for any place and time. Widely used by chronolocation analysts.

Free open-source planetarium. Reproduces the night sky for any date, time and location — essential for verifying star, moon and constellation positions in imagery.

Bellingcat-developed open-source web tool that constrains the geographic regions where a photographed shadow could have been cast at a given local time.

Free open-source 3D creation suite. In OSINT used for assembling reconstructions, rendering shadow simulations and aligning 3D models with reference photos.

Lightweight 3D modeller commonly used to reconstruct buildings, rooms and urban environments from photographs for incident reconstruction.

Mobile and web app that captures real-world objects and scenes as 3D models via photogrammetry, LiDAR and Gaussian splatting.

Open-source toolkit for processing drone imagery into orthophotos, point clouds, DEMs and 3D models. Standard in low-budget aerial reconstruction.

High-end photogrammetry suite (now part of Epic Games) that fuses photos and laser scans into precise 3D models, used in human-rights forensics.

Free open-source photogrammetry application from AliceVision that turns photo sets into 3D meshes — the entry-level tool for crowd-sourced 3D scene reconstruction.
